so i played the new jackson today at my local guitar store (they have the red and black one in, and it's sooo sweet). this was my first time playing a V and let me just say....wow, it's so fuckin different playing this thing while sitting down. i'm used to the guitar being close to my body when i play, but with a V it's so different. and my left hand position felt like it had to strain a bit because i had to reach a litte more for the fretboard. i'm sure i could get used to it after a while. but for now, i think i still like Ibanez the best. but that's probably just cuz i'm used to it. lol, and the guy at the store kept trying to persuade me to buy it. i told him i wasn't worthy as yet
